Installing your new printer

When installing driver for your Artisan POS hardware you must use the manufacturer's drivers if available. Windows usually provides a default list of driver they have gathered through different manufacturers. Some printers automatically detect drivers the moment you connect your printer to your computer, If this is the case you do not have to worry about installing the drivers for your printer usually you will see a "Installing device driver software" blimp which means Windows has found your printer drivers and is currently installing them.

When all is done the the blimp notification should now display "Your device is ready to use."

Usually at this point you could open up "Devices and printer" and you should see your newly installed device.

Installing Generic Text Driver

To install a Generic printer driver you have to go into "Devices and Printers"

Then you choose "Add a printer"

And now you follow the windows "Add printer" wizard.

The first prompt ask "what type of printer do you want to install?" This prompt is basically asking if this printer is going

to be a wireless printer that is configured on the network or just a local printer that is connected to the computer via USB, Serial, or parallel.

The next prompt is your Local printer port. This is asking how is it connected and what port is it plugged into.

Normally if your plugging in via Serial or Parallel either the Top port would be your "Port 1" or the port on the Left

USB usually detects the ports and only displays the ports that are plugged in (e.g. USB001 & USB003 only ports showing up).
